This Scout retains its original ¼-inch armor plate that could stop high-velocity small arms up to .30 caliber. Because this rig returned from overseas, Federal regulations required the armor to be demilitarized by burning an “X” into the armor in various places with a torch. These were welded up for cosmetic reasons but the armor protection is permanently compromised. The tires are ’80s-era 8-20 Michelin XY with an armored casing, fitted by the Greeks.
